question: how long does strfry wait before getting an answer from write policy script?
you already said the answers can come in mixed order right. the script does not have to answer in the order received.
I just tagged 2 strfry releases: 0.9.7 and 1.0.0-beta1
1.0.0-beta1 is a candidate release of strfry 1.0.0 -- help is needed testing!
The internal strfry DB version has been increased to 3, which means that you will need to rebuild your DBs to use this new version.
0.9.7 has some bugfixes and changes that accumulated in master, and has a "strfry export --fried" feature that can be used to create DB exports that can be rapidly imported by 1.0.0 series releases.
The full changelogs are available here: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/1f34794945cf380035822278c46070a9923129f3/CHANGES
Thank you to everyone who contributed and helps testing! If you need help or run into any issues, reply on nostr or stop by our telegram channel.

It waits forever, so plugins should ensure they do any timing out on their side. I have a debugging script that can be used to detect a stalled/missing response. More info in this issue: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/issues/112
Currently strfry always waits until it gets a response about the previous event before sending another request, so the order is not applicable. Eventually I might make the implementation asynchronous in which case yes, mixed order would be acceptable. This is why the event ID must be included in a plugin reply even though technically it's not needed today. I clarified this in the docs: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/commit/d2d8dc7572e63d74caf1810673981add47c9f328
